I know that this is a f*cking amazing story that I wrote (insert self-righteousness), but when you enter the MUD keep in mind that this is a stock MUD. Of course I am working my arse off to bring my users the best that they could possibly receive and yes, of course all of this will be in the game eventually.
You first start off in the city of Maliss which is a kind of downtown NY, if NY had been overrun by zombies, demons, and mutants. Maliss will be the first and only city in the game at first, but please keep in mind that the city will be HUGE ( still building}. The city will obviously go into great detail on how everything happened (more in- depth than the main storyline). You will meet many friendly people along the way and of course the very sinister.
I have already written out 3+ dungeons for the game as well that will be group based. All of the dungeons that I/we create in AL will be unique from each other and have unique bosses.
As you can see this MUD is going to need 'hella' a lot of builders or else I'll be stuck building this MUD for months on my own. So if you think you could help to build then please don't be afraid to get a hold of me in-game or by email. *Now you can read the awesome story guys. :3*
STORY
The war of the humans began in the year 2012. Factions have been formed; The Templers, Brothers of Blood, The Circus Freaks, and Hells Riders, in order to eliminate the government super powers and to fight for their own rights to certain territories. There is no law other than that of the laws that are formed in the factions. The Police are non-existent and the governments of the world have hired on their own mercenaries to personally protect them from the anarchy.
Presidents and kings from around the globe communicated via satellite feed on a secure connection to discuss how to end this crisis. Outnumbered and with their backs getting closer and closer against the wall from continuous raids from the factions they looked at the problem and came up with the only answer that they could come up with. It was unthinkable but at the time they saw it as the only way to end the massacre. Total faction extermination was sought out through the use of the governments weapons of mass destruction. Generals were given the order to launch the bombs to every key point that a faction base camp could have been located. Naturally the world leaders took refuge in underground bases to wait out this new Hell on earth.
And the world burned for weeks or months. No one knew for sure. The ones that were unlucky enough as to not find a fallout shelter were left outside to face their doom. The ones that were at the location of the strike died instantly but, the ones within blasting range were hit by a wave of corrosive radiation, melting skin off of bones. The ones who were outside of the blast zone had only minutes before air currents came in and hit them with a dose of heavy radiation. Not to burn or incinerate but to mutate and poison them. Causing horrifying transformations and grotesque creatures only dreamed from science fiction movies.
The people who were sheltered from the fallout waited for the screams and shouting to stop before they stepped out of their holes. What they found horrified and chilled them to the bone. The landscape was in ruins and where houses still stood were in shambles and burnt. Trees were on the edge of extinction. They stood with no leaves and black as midnight. Burnt bodies littered the melted streets and sidewalks. You could see a crater or two from the blasts every 20 miles or so. A picture from the depths of hell could describe what they looked out to.
And what did you think we did as a species? We left our ash colored tombs and we kept on surviving. The government didnt wipe out even one faction but were able to destroy over 70% of the worlds population in mere hours. The factions rebuilt and raged war on each other as always but the government hid or maybe they didn't survive. Maybe their conscious hit and they did themselves in. Whatever the case our world had been changed. The area deemed unlivable or outside of the towns became known as The Barrens.
Your story begins in the city of Maliss. You are charged with the job to pick a faction and survive by any means possible. Remember, factions arent the only things that you need to watch your back over. Since fallout, creatures have been mutating, killing, feeding, and repopulating since the survivors of the fallout came out of their shells. Get ready to shape your apocalyptic legacy.
You really have to knock this off. You're acting like you're advertising an open mud. You've started an excessive number of threads here and elsewhere, for inviting people to come play your stock mud, which as I understand it, has been reinstalled twice in as many days, wiping out the progress of the people who actually paid attention to you.
You are doing this wrong. You have a new project asking for builders. Post for recruitment maybe once a week, certainly not with the frequency we've seen thus far. And don't post acting like there's a new mud for players to join. Clearly that is flatly untrue.
Ghost, I can understand that you're super excited about your mud right now. However you're not going to make good relations on forums like this by the way you're going about promoting.
On the flip side, you do want to harness this excitement so it's not just a flash in the pan and a month from now your code is collecting dust. I would recommend starting a blog/site with a RSS feed (on any free service like Wordpress.com, etc.) so people can keep track of your progress if they want to, then keep a devlog thread here at MB where you post with major updates (so like once a week or whatever).

I understand. I found a builder with the same ideas as me so I'm going to be focusing on my MUD now. Maybe advertise every now and again.
*Edit* Features: Original story, classes, races, and areas. Theme: Post Apocalyptic.
The MUD is open to normal players, but it's in a stage of construction. So if you want a complete and polished MUD stay away for the time being.
If I failed to introduce the fact that I'm not really looking for normal users, but builders I'm sorry if you were confused or I confused you.
*Builders* I'm currently looking for builders for my MUD. The first city you start in, Maliss, is going to be huge and I'm going to need some help in gutting out the stock and replacing it with fantastic new areas and NPC's. Only looking for builders that want to have a steady, current project and that can actual spell correctly. I don't want to have to go back on their work and check it. I'm not just looking for people that have been building for a while, I'm also open to newbie builders because I'm willing to teach. Either way I don't want to have to baby them around about things that need to be getting done.
I have a lot of work already typed out and ready to be dev'd I just need my builders!
